Tama snare drum 14” x 5” in Mastercraft style
This Tama snare drum combines a compact 14” x 5” format with a 1.2 mm steel shell. That makes this steel snare appealing if you want a responsive snare drum with a classic Mastercraft build.
As a Limited Edition, the Tama 8055 is built with Original Superstar lugs and 10-hole die-cast hoops. The Remo® Coated Ambassador in Tama 50th Anniversary version matches the character of this model.
Construction and parts of the Tama 8055
The shell is made of 1.2 mm steel and works together with the 18-strand Carbon Steel Long Snare Wires. The Roller Action strainer and butt, with part numbers 6302N, 6303N and 6338N, are also part of this snare drum’s specification.
Inside, you get a One-Touch Tone Control muffler, listed as 6552N, which lets you adjust damping directly on the drum itself. If you are looking for a Tama steel snare with recognizable hardware and a clearly defined build, the 8055 stands out.
